The Benefits of Therapy for Couples

Many couples seek therapy after they have experienced cataphoric failure to communicate. Couples don't have to wait for major rifts to seek counseling. The earlier they find a therapist, the healthier their relationship can be. There are plenty of reasons why a couple should attend therapy, including:

Restoration. This is obvious. However, this "magic" both parties seek may not come in the form which each party desires. Couples therapy is not intended to have a referee between the bouting sides, but a haven to ask questions and address concerns & doubts while receiving support, guidance, and coaching in the process.

Discovering Root Causes. An attachment-focused approach to therapy for couples dives deep into the emotional aspect of the issues. Once we find the root cause of the problems, we can work as a group to fix them.

Improving Communication. We help identify "communication patterns" that contribute to feeling unloved, unwanted, and unheard. Improving these signals can dramatically improve communication in the relationship.

Improving Trust. Have you heard the saying, "If there is no trust in the relationship, there is no relationship." It's one of the core foundational principles of having a healthy relationship. Trust isn't built overnight, and restoring trust once broken takes time. We work on exercises to store lost trust.
